The Ballroom Scene is an African-American, Indigenous, and Latino underground LGBTQ+ subculture that originated in New York City. The theme/purpose of this particular event, otherwise known as a ‘ball,’ is paying homage to the infamous MET Gala through the years having members be a part of their own fashionable iconic moment as living art themselves. The strong history of the relationship between Ballroom and fashion rocks steadily to this day. Ballroom culture has influenced music, media, and even the vernacular of today’s language. This  ball is intentionally constructed to showcase the talent and opulence that members of the ballroom scene hold.”

What to Expect: “Throughout his nearly 50 year career, highly regarded photographer and educator Dawoud Bey (American, born 1953) has explored the importance of community and the weight of history through his compelling portraits and landscapes. From 1988 to 1991, he photographed African Americans in the streets of various American cities. For this project entitled Street Portraits, Bey asked a cross section of these communities to pose for him, creating a space of self-presentation and performance in their urban environments.

Please join us for a conversation between Dawoud Bey and Eric Paddock, Curator of Photography at the Denver Art Museum, to learn more about the artist’s process, inspiration, and the importance of this earlier work to his career as a whole. This program is presented in connection with his exhibition Dawoud Bey: Street Portraits.”
